Do you need guidance in your agency journey? Could a coach be the game changer your agency needs? Maybe so, but maybe not. Many agency owners naturally turn to a coach for support and growth advice. And, while coaches excel at addressing specific challenges, their impact often plateaus after a few months due to the inherent limitations of single-perspective coaching. Today's featured guest is our scale specialist who has closely observed the growth trajectories of numerous mastermind members. Through his unique vantage point, he's witnessed how the most valuable exchanges often occur organically — outside of scheduled meetings — when members freely share experiences and insights. These connections flourish during in-person events, where authentic relationships take root. He sees the way these relationships foster trust and create a dynamic environment for growth that transcends what any single “business coach” provides. As Agency Scale Specialist on our team, Darby Copenhaver regularly meets with all our members and connects with them at our in-person events. He sees just how much those events make a difference in the ways which members engages with the community. The live events foster the community element so each member receives guidance and advice for their particular challenges while also having fun and connecting with peers in a way they wouldn't if stuck in a conference room all day. This conversation highlights the difference between what agency owners think they need and the actual support they might benefit from. In this episode, we'll discuss: The limitations of 1:1 coaching for agency growth. 3 benefits of an agency owner community. The power of in-person connection for professional growth.

Why Coaching Alone Isn't Enough to Scale Your Agency One of the challenges of scaling past a certain point is the vision you need to get there often necessitates some outside help. At this point, most agency owners figure they need a “coach” to get them to the next stage of growth. This is undoubtedly the right approach for many people. However, while coaching can provide valuable insights and strategies, there are inherent limitations that come with relying solely on individual coaches. As many agency owners find out, coaching has a finite perspective. Despite the expertise and experience of a coach, their ability to offer solutions is ultimately constrained by their unique viewpoint. Darby and Jason agree, coaching has a very important role in addressing specific business challenges. Coaches bring a wealth of experience and knowledge instrumental in helping agency owners navigate obstacles. A coach can provide tailored strategies, accountability, and a sounding board for ideas, — all incredibly beneficial, especially for those who are just starting or facing particular hurdles. Each coach has their own set of experiences, beliefs, and methodologies that inform their approach. While this individuality can lead to innovative solutions, it also means that the coach's insights are inherently limited to their own understanding of the industry and the challenges faced by agency owners. In light of these limitations, Darby advises agency owners to seek a more diversified array of resources and perspectives. Relying solely on a single coach creates an echo chamber, where ideas and strategies become repetitive and lack the innovation necessary for sustained growth. Instead, they should consider leveraging a combination of coaching, peer support, and community engagement. 3 Main Benefits of an Agency Owner Community Agency owners are always navigating an industry that is both highly competitive and ever-evolving. Often this leads to them feeling isolated in their role as the leaders who set the vision and direction for the agency. In this sense, few things make as much difference as connection among peers to foster a sense of belonging and understanding. Community: When agency owners come together—whether at events, workshops, or informal gatherings—they create a community that transcends individual experiences. This connection aspect is vital as it allows members to share their stories, challenges, and triumphs, support one another and encourage vulnerability and authenticity. This open exchange of experiences cultivates an environment where each owner feels heard and valued, setting the stage for deeper insights and learning. Clarity: A natural byproduct of these connections is clarity. When agency owners engage with one another, they can step back from their daily grind and gain fresh perspectives on their challenges. This clarity is not merely about understanding their business metrics; it encompasses a broader awareness of their goals, values, and the strategies needed to achieve them. Confidence: Along with clarity and insights from community, owners gain a sense of purpose and a plan. While plans may not be foolproof, having a framework—shaped by collective wisdom—significantly increases the likelihood of success: Simply put, camaraderie can embolden individuals to take risks, experiment with new ideas, and ultimately pursue their unique definitions of success. The Power of In-Person Connection in Professional Growth The importance of in-person connections cannot be overstated. While technology has enabled us to connect with others across vast distances, it is in-person experiences that often lead to deeper bonds and a sense of community, as mastermind members have been able to see during our annual events. In a mastermind setting, such as Agency Mastery, monthly virtual meetings offer valuable insights through structured calls focused on topics relevant to all members. However, Darby sees the most meaningful connections emerge outside the formal meetings, when members take their conversations offline and share personal stories. These initial bonds then strengthen significantly during our in-person events. Members consistently highlight the relationship-building aspects of these face-to-face gatherings are what they value most. These events provide a unique space for personalized feedback and collaborative growth among successful agency owners. Rather than being confined to conference rooms, the Agency Mastery team incorporate engaging activities like horseback riding, allowing members to connect authentically while enjoying themselves away from the usual distractions of phones, clients, and daily business challenges. The success of these events largely stems from our careful approach to group composition. By maintaining small, exclusive groups and setting high standards for both business achievement and cultural fit, Jason and team have created a tight-knit community of professionals who genuinely support each other's growth and success.

However, to provide professional services, you must develop a structured growth plan for your agency. So how can you scale your business to optimize your services and maximize sales?  When structuring his agency for growth, Jim Huffman referenced Nathan Barry's framework for wealth creation. This model regards agency growth as a ladder in which you begin as an employee, start to market services, productize those services, and then sell products before progressing into a SaaS platform. The wealth creation ladder allowed Jim to productize growth as a service by offering his clients web pages, ads, and emails. By implementing this approach, you can scale effectively and generate new clients. Listen to this Inspired Insider Podcast episode with Dr. Jeremy Weisz, featuring the Founder and CEO of GrowthHit, Jim Huffman. They discuss Jim's strategy for vetting companies for product-to-market fit, how he structures his agency and company culture, and setting up a marketing funnel to drive conversions.

Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Starting a Digital Agency Based on Consumer Behavior Laurel had worked in retail but was not very aware of product sampling when she went to an interview at Samples Incorporation of America. She got the job and worked there for many years. By the time she left she developed an interest in consumer behavior. She went right to starting Aha! Marketing, which is her digital agency focused on consumer behaviors with the goal of getting as many samples out as efficiently as possible.  Her agency works across brands, categories, and audiences which makes the work very interesting. It is a fun business for her and she loves figuring out each campaign depending on the product and where they find the preferred consumers. Every brand campaign is delivered through one of their proprietor networks. Potential consumers aren't approached randomly but rather a part of a carefully selected group. Finding the Right Influencers for a Product Launch If you're searching for restaurants online and a friend recommends one, you'll probably go to the one your friend recommends. That is the same response Laurel and her team tries to recreate by working with influencers. There's nothing quite like trying a product yourself. However, opportunities for this had been limited during the pandemic. Now, two years later, there are many renewed opportunities to get in front of consumers. One of the markets where they've been making a lot of progress is new moms. They typically reach expecting and new moms through OBGYN practices and a network of midwives and doulas. Influencers normally have many questions about the product quality, brand, and logistics of receiving the products. If you are prepared to answer these questions and they like the product, you'll make a very valuable relationship. These influencers are people who normally have a close relationship with new moms so their recommendations are at the top of their considerations. Her agency works with other agencies as well as with brands directly. It involves a lot of detailed logistics to get the brands out there. If they agree to recommend the products, influencers are expected to provide feedback and probably photos. Finally, the number of samples depends on the brand. Some are sent to hundreds of locations and others to thousands of locations. Working With Brands To Do Targeted Product Sampling When it comes to working with the brand, it starts with the type of campaign they're trying to build to determine the best approach for a particular product. Some other basic information includes how many samples they're sending and how many consumers they want to reach. For some campaigns, they rely on intermediaries. For instance, for one campaign they targeted people at gyms and had intermediaries approach the trainers to recommend the product to their clients. They got feedback from both the intermediaries and the consumers. They usually recommend brands add a QR code on the packaging of the sample because it helps drive responses. Furthermore, they often organize photo contests with cash prizes. They did it recently with Dove samples and they got back really creative photos of people in bubble baths with the soap. They can also add an offer or coupon, which works based on the brand's target audience, product, and which offers have previously seen some success with their audience. This is done with a survey gathering useful information. If possible, Aha Marketing likes to have the opportunity to work with the brand around how a sample is designed. They have an interest in the packaging and how it relates to the sample distribution. For example, is it in a tube or a packet? How efficiently can they pack it? Can they reuse material? But not all campaigns involve a physical product. They recently worked with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association in a campaign to educate new moms on the importance of beef as a first food. The campaign had educational purposes and included white papers for the physicians and displays for their waiting rooms. Acquiring Another Agency to Grow Faster Last year, while in the Goldman-Sachs program, Laurel had the opportunity to acquire another company in her space. The program helped her realize how this opportunity could really help grow the agency faster. It solved a lot of things for them, like getting access to some larger accounts and acquiring clients that complemented the ones they already worked with. Most agency owners find the prospect of buying an agency too daunting a task. Of course, it does involve a lot of preparation but Laurel maintains it was the best decision for their growth. She was careful to involve trusted experts to give her the best advice possible. Other than that, she let the numbers tell the story. By the time she had the right offer, she knew she couldn't let it pass. The deal was structured in a way that she couldn't lose. She even recalls it as a fun process from which she learned a lot.

This week on the leadership podcast, Bradley sits down with return guest Craig Wiggins.  They discussed changes in business operations, marketing, and hiring in a post pandemic landscape.  Craig shared his thoughts around what changed in business since the last time he was on the podcast. Craig Wiggins started his insurance agency in 1996 with 0 customers and 0 clients… Today he has built one of the largest agencies in the country with 4 locations in 2 states and over $40,000,000 in annual premium. Craig and his Agency consistently win top awards and recognitions year after year. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020.  In this episode, he spoke directly to insurance agencies.  He encouraged owners to remember that coverage is more important than price.  After all, anyone can undercut a price, but not everyone can provide coverage that will serve their customers.  In fact, he noted that if an insurance agent doesn't do a good job, they may set their customer up for major problems down the road. Craig also encouraged owners to remind their team members of this fact.  An insurance agent is the #2 most important person in someone's life.  You need to remind your team that what they do matters! He has found that when marketing your business, traditional methods have become more effective.  This means that centers of influence, referrals aka introductions, and even direct mail have been offering some great returns.  This is in direct contrast to standard practices over the past few years that have emphasized online reach. Craig talked about how to find truly great team members. A lot of people will lull into thinking that it's easy to just post a job opening and get a bunch of applicants.  However, the kind of people you're looking for may not be on Indeed or Monster. Have a high number of applicants doesn't always mean they are qualified. He and Bradley discussed the value of having a second in command. This person would be responsible for operations and implementation of the vision.  Craig used the term Implementor to describe this person.  Their conversation included the importance of knowing when it was time to hire for this role, and what compensation should look like.

Ty Frankel, the founder of Agency Empire, has been walking the walk since he was 14. At 22, he earned his first Emmy Award and consistently earned over $1.1 million per year with Shut Down Music's music production agency. Ty successfully pivoted his career when he realized he wanted more. In less than a year, Ty launched Agency Empire using Twitter to grow his personal brand to more than 21,000 followers successfully. Ty credits his effective use of cold emails to his success. Follow along on the One Big Tip podcast and learn how Ty scaled his business successfully using cold emails.In a B2B industry, the best way to reach your market is via cold emails that can be done in large volumes through automation. The part that requires effort in this process is a personalized first line and ensuring you have an easy money offer. Combining these two techniques is how Agency Empire helps businesses grow past the $100,000 a month. Ty started in the industry as a teenager who loved creating music beats. Realizing that the money was in creating music for t.v., movies, and commercials, he shifted his focus. Over the next few years, Ty worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry. Having produced tracks for companies like Universal Music, Red Bull, Warner Brothers, and Sony, Ty thought he had reached his goal. There was only so far he could scale his business in the music industry. Ty then did what successful entrepreneurs do. He pivoted his focus to a more lucrative industry. That is how Agency Empire was born. Today,  The one thing Ty enjoys about his work these days is that the results are measurable and quantifiable.  His secret is using cold emails and an easy money offer, resulting in Ty's ‘no brainer approach. Ty has no regrets about jumping from the music industry to the marketing industry. This is where he found success and is looking forward to a brighter future.Agency Empire takes a comprehensive approach to scaling your business. Although many marketing tactics are used, Ty believes cold emails will put you in front of the people you want to get in front of.  Why does he put so much value in cold emails? Because when done right, they will make it easy to close the deal. They need to be personal to the receiver. Take the time to learn something about the person. Make sure they notice that you researched them. Second, ensure your offer is excellent and mitigates risk. Build confidence in your company through testimonials and case studies. The purpose of the cold email is to secure a call with your target audience. Ty guarantees that you can scale your agency to where you want by following these steps.Another tactic Ty uses is an email campaign. Don't just send out one cold email and be done. Email a sequence of emails, including a LinkedIn connection. Show your potential client that you have a fantastic offer that can scale their agency. Know your client and what will speak to them. How are you going to mitigate risk to entice them? These are all key components of the Agency Empire model. Listen to the One Big Tip podcast as Ty Frankel shares the tips and tricks he used to put Agency Empire on the map and scale your business. In this episode[1:21] Ty talks about his experience in the entertainment industry, running a monthly six-figure music production agency. [2:46] Hitting an income cap and why he left the music industry to open Agency Empire.[7:50] Focusing on Twitter helped Ty expand his brand and grow financially.[12:40] Ty explains how cold emails make the client connection happen.[14:00] The importance of having a great offer when you send out cold emails. Support the show (https://jeffmendelson.com/onebigtip)
